Maybe I'm wrong, but that feels pretty similar to fingerprinting. Usually that's why online services try to fingerprint you, for advertising and data revenue.

Fingerprinting is just for identifying user, not getting user data. You can potentially resell things like app usage to credit rating company.

That is profiling.

Fingerprinting is an identification mechanism. It is most commonly used for targeting and profiling.

Does fingerprinting necessarily imply reselling that data?
